Turning Up The Heat On Iraq

With the U.S. Senate agreeing to debate an resolution on the Iraq War today after Republicans twice before blocked such a discussion, the DSCC has released this new Web ad warning GOP senators their “time is up” for supporting President Bush’s escalation plan.

The Working Families Party, meanwhile, has trained its sites on the House, which has already passed a non-binding resolution opposing the escalation and is now engaged in an internal debate over how far legislation calling for troop withdrawal from Iraq should go.

The WFP is mounting an e-mail campaign to “hold the Democrats’ feet to the fire” and call on them to limit the use of additional funding to “protecting our troops’ safety and bringing them home now.”
